I had the delicious beetroot stack which was a risotto ball with all sorts of delicious cheeses inside and out! Good value and very filling.
My friend had the Chicken salad which wasn't as great as mine but was served beautifully :)
The chicken filo parcel is amaaaazing! So delicious. Cheesy rolls were a bit overpriced but taste good, wish you could buy separately instead of in a pack. Can’t wait to come back again.
Easily our favourite cafe in all of Wellington. Coffee is always great and we have never had a bad bite of food. Highly recommend the grilled halloumi or any sweet treat in the counter.
Love sweet vanilla. Their coffee is consistently great and their food too. True it is small but that's what makes it so cosy. They have a great selection of cabinet food and have a range of vegan, gluten free and non options so something to please everyone.
Great cafe - the coffee is well made and the food is delicious. The cabinet is always full of yummy treats and the service is lovely. The only down side is that it can get rather loud at peak times and the bathroom facilities are in an awkward area.
This is our local and we have never had a bad meal or cake. The caramal and rhubarb cake is a must try. It does get really busy so book if you want a table in peak periods.
This is a regular Friday lunch destination for my mother and I as it’s a cute and quaint cafe for Lower Hutt. I always get the Halloumi Stack and it is super yum each time, absolutely adore the vibe of this place!
So lovely! Went in this morning for breakfast with a friend, I got the Banana bread and they were very kind and accommodated when I said I just wanted the poached pears as the fruit. Super friendly staff and the food was very quick to come out! My portion was huge, the photo does not do it justice- the poached pear was a little hard and not very sweet and the flavours in the dish were a little unbalanced but the banana bread itself wasn’t that bad! Filled me up for over half the day.
I also got a banana smoothie- wasn’t the best smoothie I’ve ever had- no flavour and wasn’t sweet. I think they may have used green bananas instead of ripe ones so wouldn’t recommend getting a smoothie- however again, massive portion.
My friend got the eggs Benedict and it looked divine! She said it was amazing and once again, portions great.
It is a little pricey, but I figure that as it keeps you full throughout the day and has lovely staff, and fast cooking time, well worth the money and a visit.
Lunch here today. The food was really good. Fantastic cafe meals in relation to taste, portion size, gluten free options and value. The coffee was also of a high standard.
Very cramped but food is great. Typical NZ cafe fare so nothing too inventive but very well done, and cakes/coffee etc are also very good. Seems to get a lot of 'ladies who lunch' which put my partner off a bit but the food is excellent and service is friendly.
We had the garlic mushrooms for breakfast. They were already busy at 7.30 am. Still prompt serving our breakfast. Coffee was even quicker.
Very tasty breakfast. The only problem was the cabinet food. It all looks so good and it would have been so easy to buy alot we did not need.
Staff were very helpful.
It was busy but service spirit was still great and patient! We had salmon bagel stack, pancakes, cheesecake and coffees. They have a nice keto and gf selection too. Dishes were delicious and nicely presented. As it was my first time heading there, I was not sure if we had to be wait to be seated.
SVK ... you are my favorite secret! I knew when I saw your loaded cabinet and heard the buzzing of happy people that I had struck gold! The only thing I struggled with was what to order because this girl wanted ALL. THE. THINGS.. So I got the avo smash - not a lot to hide behind with that, and OMG I was not disappointed. Generous amounts of avocado and feta The nut dukkah was insane and a perfectly poached egg to top it off. The balsamic glaze provided the right kind of sweet and sharp, and that little squeeze of lemon took it all to church. Yes, I'd do that again, and no, I'm not telling my friends. Wifey ordered the Irish Breakfast with some heavy persuading from me and was not disappointed. The sour apple was delish, and that onion marmalade? I'd have that on toast every day! All those delish things made the black pudding seem like caviar. The location of this wee gem might seem off the beaten track, but ya know, that's where all the best adventures begin! Tally-ho!
Reserved brunch for two as it's necessary when busy. Preorder meals, that way your not queued up in service. Ok, meal was absolutely delicious. Pancakes were light & fluffy & bacon was top notch. Egg Benedict were well presented & went down a treat. Corn Fritters were fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed the flavours in everything. Will definitely be planning another outing again. Well done, SVK.
Went to SVK for brunch today, catching up with friends & their 6month old. The staff had a high chair ready & were accommodating with heating his food while we had the tough job of deciding what to order. Coffee came out & was good, followed by our food which looked amazing, was very tasty & large portions. My friends also grabbed sweets to take away. It was constantly busy but the service was good, a great experience overall on the long weekend.
Usually long waiting time. Nice place with good food. Definitely good portion sizes! Only item I wouldn't recommend so far are the blue Berry pancakes which were insanely sweet - covered in sugar and for some reason with an orange flavour theme.
Always a pleasure to visit. I've never had a sub standard meal here and the service is always great. Love that the menu changes with the seasons and the cake cabinet is always full of fab goodies! Best to book as they're busy.
This place never fails to deliver great food with excellent service!
Lovely lunch here. Was very busy, but found a spot in the little courtyard outside. Staff were great and food was nice. My eggs bene were perfectly cooked. Coffees were great too. The kids meals were visually unappealing and not filling (for our kids 9 & 11), but also quite cheap. Possibly adding a $1 - $1.50 on and adding another element might be an idea to consider.
But overall, great experience and will definitely be going back.
What an amazing little place! The selection of food is impressive. Meals are great. Lunch time is busy so plan ahead
